World War I

The verse containing the ELS phrase Anger and Wrath is particularly
instructive. Moses received the first tablets. Some of the Israelites
had made a golden calf. Moses comes down Mount Sinai and breaks the tablets. He summarizes this
incident as he reviews their history in the desert. He says:

I dreaded the anger and wrath that Hashem was directing at you to destroy you.(Deuteronomy 9:19)
